I got off the caffeine wagon (black tea) a few months ago now. I don't know if getting off improved my sleep since I take Clonazepam & that pretty-much knocks me out at night regardless. But I was surprised at how much of the energy I had during the day, while I was still drinking black tea, was fueled by the caffeine in it. Sometimes I think I should take up the practice again to see if it would perk me back up. But now that I'm off, I really prefer to stay off. So my plan is to stick with Camomile when I want a hot beverage... which I'm sure I will come late autumn & winter.

22:40 in India. I feel dizzy, lightheaded, weak and exhausted, feel like I'm going to collapse and pass out any moment. Plus severe nausea.
Hope the oxygen level in my brain increases soon...I really feel very very sick. |

Wonder if it's related to your meds and the heat? My psych meds make me much more sensitive to the heat. When it gets too hot now, I literally vomit.

I'm sorry you're so ill this way, Mimi. I was wondering, have you tried bending over to get more blood to the brain? I hope you start to feel better very soon.

Moreover I have an ac in my room. So it is not bc of the heat. Also I.have been taking the same psych meds for a long time now. So the meds can't be responsible. Last edited by MimiBhaduri0; Aug 29, 2022 at 01:41 PM.. |

Feeling dizzy, lightheaded and faint. Plus strong nausea and acid reflux from time to time. The oxygen level in my brain must be dropping again. My body feels numb.
Plus I have diarrhea. My belly and an*s feel tender and are hurting. II have a burning sensation in them. I also have a burning sensation in my chest. I took an ativan 2mg to sleep away the pain. I can't bear the pain any more. Idk what I have done to deserve this! Idk who to reach out to for help except God. So God please help me, please have mercy on me. |

Oh dear Mimi, what does your doctor say about all of this? Could it possibly be like a case of comorbidity, like more than one illness, all at the same time? I hear that happens sometimes. What if your doctor is really busy & sometimes doesn't see everything?.....And that thing I said about bending over, yes, like you're touching your toes. I was told, when I felt like I was going to faint, to hang my head down between my knees. It worked. So I found out later that my brain needed the oxygen in the blood.

I'm very lonely right now. Within the next two weeks, I won't have to worry about being alone again. It's just that in the interim, it's very difficult. I feel very sad tonight.

I’m very hard on myself for being human and making mistakes. I hold myself to standards that I’d never impose on others. Beating myself up for an unfortunate decision in regards to a relationship from the past.

I have no answers. I want answers. But got none.
I feel alone. I don’t even understand how I feel. No one does. I don’t belong. Why would anyone want me around? Misfits is the word and I’m glad I can across this thread tonight. |

Yes please everyone......I'm someone most people have used like a doormat. As Breaking Dawn says, let's please accept one another as we are and tell ourselves that we too belong.

Do you ever feel pressure to go on an ssri because crying when stressed and overwhelmed is not “normal” to some? It’s a personal choice and not always the answer for everyone. Just curious.
I’m glad to belong with all us misfits! |

Thank you, @June55! Meds never seemed to work for my uncontrollable crying & fear. I learned a better way of thinking from a good therapist who taught cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a magazine that taught me how physical exercise sends oxygen & nutrients to the brain. I have fallen off the horse, so to speak. But I am trying to get back on that horse. I've done it before. So I know it's possible. I'm wishing you luck, June55!
